The soundscape of Cairo will change forever. And so will the lives of the muezzin.

We hear how they came to be muezzin, about their histories, their military service, what they thought of the Tahir Square uprising and continuing political and social drama, and what they do each day in the mosque.

Radio Muezzin is 360documentary’s adaptation of a documentary theatre piece, of the same name. The piece was created by Rimini Protokoll, a German theatre company, and it tours the world. It was in Sydney for the Sydney Festival in January 2012, where we recorded it, in our studios.
